Ingredients
  

For the Waffle Fries:

  • 1 lb. waffle fries store-bought or homemade
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

For the Beef:

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 10 oz. shredded cheddar cheese

Toppings:

  • 3/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/4 cup pickles diced or sliced

Optional Topping:

  • 1/2 cup burger sauce or a mix of ketchup, mayo, mustard, and relish

Instructions
 

Cook the Waffle Fries:

  • Preheat your oven and cook the waffle fries according to package instructions, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • While they’re cooking, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, black pepper, chili powder, and paprika in a small bowl.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the fries once they’re done, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Cook the Ground Beef:

  • While the fries are cooking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Drain any excess fat.

Melt the Cheese:

  • Once the beef is cooked, layer the seasoned waffle fries on a large oven-safe platter or sheet pan.
  • Sprinkle the ground beef evenly over the fries, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Place the platter in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.

Add Toppings:

  • Remove the nachos from the oven and top them with diced tomatoes, shredded iceberg lettuce, and pickles.
  • Drizzle with burger sauce, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.

Serve Immediately:

  • These cheeseburger nachos are best enjoyed hot and fresh, with all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger coming together in every bite.
  • Serve as a snack, appetizer, or even a fun main course!
